Alison Gold loves Megan McCafferty's Jessica Darling Novels

By Alison Gold
Published: October 1st, 2008 | 12:00am

I was recently turned on to Megan McCafferty's novels by a friend at the dog park.  McCafferty's four (soon to be five) books follow Jessica Darling, a smart, sarcastic suburban-raised young woman with wit and a sex drive as she moves through high school, Columbia University, and post-college city life.  Now I'm hooked on the series and I can't decide if it's because McCafferty captures being a smart, young woman so honestly, or because she's created a perfectly imperfect love interest for Jessica and I'm curious if they will end up together in the end.
